Licensing Question – OEM Software
LockedAn employee is trying to save a couple dollars asked me about this today and I don’t really know what to tell him.
He has two older computers at home which he doesn’t use any more. Each of them came with Microsoft Office.
He wants to buy his daughter a new computer.
Can he…
1. Order the new computer WITHOUT Microsoft Office.
2. Remove Microsoft Office from one of the older, unused PCs.
3. Install that version of Office on the new PC.I’m not sure where to find the information, but somehow I’m thinking it would still be some sort of licensing violation.
Also, does an older version of Office (probably Office 97) play well with Windows XP Home(the most likely OS she will be getting).
